ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between specific cognitive aspects and quantitative EEG measures, in patients with mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHOD: Thirty-eight AD patients and 31 controls were assessed by CERAD neuropsychological battery (Consortium to Establish a Registry for AD) and the electroencephalogram (EEG). The absolute power and coherences EEG measures were calculated at rest. The correlations between the cognitive variables and the EEG were evaluated. RESULTS: In the AD group there were significant correlations between different coherence EEG measures and Mini-Mental State Examination, verbal fluency, modified Boston naming, word list memory with repetition, word list recall and recognition, and constructional praxis (p<0.01). These correlations were all negative for the delta and theta bands and positive for alpha and beta. There were no correlations between cognitive aspects and absolute EEG power. CONCLUSION: The coherence EEG measures reflect different forms in the relationship between regions related to various cognitive dysfunctions.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar as relações entre aspectos cognitivos específicos e medidas quantitativas do EEG em pacientes com doença de Alzheimer (DA) leve e moderado. MÉTODO: Trinta e oito pacientes com DA e 31 controles foram avaliados com a bateria neuropsicológica CERAD (Consortium to Establish a Registry for AD) e o eletroencefalograma. Foram realizadas medidas de potência absoluta e coerência do EEG, durante repouso, e avaliadas suas relações com variáveis do CERAD. RESULTADOS: No grupo DA houve correlações significativas entre diferentes medidas de coerência e o mini-exame do estado mental, fluência verbal, teste de nomeação de Boston modificado, memória de lista de palavras com repetição, recordação e reconhecimento de lista de palavras e praxia construtiva (p<0,01). Essas correlações foram negativas para as faixas delta e teta e positivas para alfa e beta. CONCLUSÃO: As medidas de coerência do EEG em repouso refletem diferentes formas de organização nas relações entre regiões, relacionadas a várias disfunções cognitivas.
